Yesterday it was back to the perio. to check up on my fluid and we finally got some good news. The baby's growth is consistant with his age (26 weeks) and I had a lot more fluid than last time. The doctor said it is uncommon in the second trimester to run into fluid problems however in the third trimester as the baby grows larger it is a lot more common to see less fluid surrounding the baby. Since I am only 2 weeks away from the third trimester everything is looking great! One thing the doctor advised me to do is make sure that I am getting lots of rest in addition to hydrating. She even suggested working from home one day a week if it is at all possible. I am not rushing into anything at this point (work wise) since most of my job is sitting and I have come up with a clever way of putting my feet up each day and just taking it easy. I think the doctor was the most concerned with my commute since it can be very stressful but I kinda like my commute it has become my Gracie time. I am going to continue coming in for now but if I notice things getting a little daunting then I will request the medical documentation neccessary to work from home one day a week. Actually work is where I do the most hydrating, I am always near a bottle of water and I drink because I am bored or I want a little break. Perfect Combo! I did have to make one more appointment but barring any catastrophe I am in the clear. My last (keeping positive) perio appointment is scheduled for September 30th at 9:15 a.m..
I have to say now that I know things are going really well with the baby that going every two weeks to get a sonogram was kinda neat. It's just nice to appreciate him moving and changing so vastly over such a short amount time. I love watching him moving around on the monitor and feeling it at the same time. It's crazy to think he was just this tiny little thing hiding in the uterus and now he is soooo there.
In other news, I ordered the wallpaper for the nursery on Tuesday so it should be coming shortly (perhaps next week) and from that we are going to decide on a paint color and pick out the fabric for the drapes. Over the weekend we picked out a crib with Grandma Betty. Actually it was so great having her come with us since Stan and I always have a hard time picking out what we really want. She asked the best questions from the sales person and from her responses we were able to find a gorgeous crib for a good cost that satisfied all of our safety concerns. I am planning on taking pictures of the nursery during the whole process and posting them up here so everyone can see how things are going. I have to say it is hard shifting from a junk room to a nursery. All of a sudden you realize you have to allocate your storage a lot better. So we are going to put an organizer in the hall closet this weekend and start getting the junk stored in a nice way so it will be there when we need but not be there when it is not needed.
I have an August preggo pic to upload on here so that should be coming shortly (I will try to get to it today after work).

I'm so glad to hear your in the clear with the fluid. Does that mean you will be able to do the prenatal yoga you wanted to do?
Ditto; that's such good news and the border is very cute and that's great that he's got his bed to sleep in.
